Exaggerated Reports of the Effects of the
Late Oregon Storm.


TCopwig, 1857, by the California associated Press.I
PORTLAND, December 9th.-Reports show
that previous reports of damage by this
weeks rain storm in Oregon and Washing
ton Territory have been exaggerated. The
Northern Pacific line between here and Ia
coma, which was reported washed out for a
section of twenty-five miles, is in running
order to-day. The track was submerged in
few places, but the water subsided last
night.
The Oregon Railroad and Navigation
line has suffered no damage. The Narrow
gauge lost one small bridge. The principal
loss is in logs, which were carried out of
the small streams into the Columbia river
and lost. This loss is variously estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000. No damage has
been done in this city. There are very light
rains to-day, and the water is subsiding in
all directions.

Squalid Beings Seeking America by Way
of Canada Ports.

Oh Canaua HOrIS.
MONTREAL, December 9th.-On the steam
ship Parisian's last trip to the St. Lawrence
she landed, among her immigrants, dozen
of the most squalid and miserable men,
women and children who have ever been
seen here. 1t is thought that these un-
fortunate creatures, who have been wander
ing about the outskirts of the city for the
last fortnight, living on charity, must be
Turks, as they speak no language with
which any one here is conversant. Seven
or eight of them succeeded in getting over
to Quebec yesterday, and have been loafng
around in most objectless manner through
the streets, exciting general surprise and
pity.
The police finally had to arrest one man
and two women for persisting in sitting
down in doorways impeding the ingress
and egress. Whenever one of their num-
Der was spoken to by the constable the
party exhibited q card bearing the words
" Protected Vaccinated." 1t is said that
these poor people are here on their way to
the back-doo of the United States, by
which they hope to get into that country,
the laws of which prohibit their entry
Americans here are indignant that such
miserable wretches should be allowed to
use the Canadian soil as a roadway across
the border

Senator Stanford's Proposed Correction
of the Naturalization Laws.

Senator Stanfords Proposed Correction
of the Naturalization Laws.
Icopyrgh, 1887, by The California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, December 9th.-Senator
Stanford will introduce bill in Congress,
at the first opportunity, to amend the
naturalization laws so as to provide that no
person immigrating from a foreign ,coun-
try to the United States can become citi-
zen until after residence of twenty-one
years in the land of his adoption. Mr..
Stanford thinks that men of foreign birth
should pass through the same period of
probation before becoming citizens as is
exacted of the sons of Americans by birth.
No man born in this country can be
voter until he has reached the age of
twenty-one years. Foreigners who may be
unable to either speak or write the Eng
lish language, can come to the United
States under the existing laws, and after
five years residence become voters and
citizens, having made the necessary
previous declarations.

Distress Caused by Continued Earth
quakes at Bayispe, Mexico.
NoGALEs, December 9th.--A gentleman
writing from Bavispe MonteZuma District
Sonora, gives the following regarding the
condition of the people III that district: :
Since the great seismic disturbances on
Nav Sd last. there have been but few days
that this section of Sonora has not expert
enced shock of earthquake. The longest
interval between the tremblings was little
over two weeks. At this the residents of
town who had escaped death from tumb-
ling buildings on the night of its destruc-
ton commenced rebuilding the stricken
town They had no more than fairly started
before the earth began quivering and again
they were obliged to retreat to their misera-
bic huts on Refuge Hill
CoNsTANT STATE OF TERROR.
while of late there have been some
adobe buildings erected, there are but few
occupied, owing to the regular occurrences
of the shocks every afternoon. Sometimes
they are stronger than others. When the
earth becomes humid, either by rain or
other atmospheric changes, the quaking is
both sudden and severe. The people, who
have remained in a constant state of terror,
are in a terrible state of destitution. The
food and clothing, which was furnished by
the State and by private subscription, has
been exhausted. Mid must come soon or
great loss of life will result.
SUFFERING AND MISERY.
Winter, though comparatively mild
when contrasted with an Eastern one, is
severe upon the poor, half-sheltered sur
vivors. Their clothing is not sufficient to
keep them warm. To this add the pros
poets for starvation, and you viii have
picture that is both glaring ana strange in
its rarity in the West All who possess the
means to enable them to leave go. Only
those who through sickness or the lack Of
funds cannot leave stay. There are some
150 people on refuge hill, nearly all with
out provisions. What food there is, how
ever, is generously divided among all.
The surface confguration of the coun-
try is naturally changed from the appear
ance it first presented after the succession
of heavy shocks in May. The displacement
of earth then noticeable about the table
lands and valleys has disappeared. The
huge caverous crevices are generally clos
ing. Water that burst out in streams is
still flowing, and were it not for the daily
quakes this section would be prosperous
